ate work. Bell Telephone Laboratories, 1950-. For the past three years
he has been a member of the Switching Apparatus Development Depart-
ment, in which he is supervising a group doing fundamental research
work on contact physics and engineering. Current projects include
fundamental studies of gas discharge phenomena between contacts,
their mechanisms, and their physical effects on contact behavior; also
fundamental studies of contact opens and resistance. In 1950, an article

phone Laboratories, 1925-. His early Laboratories projects included
work on wire transmission problems, particularly the development of
terminal apparatus in the voice and telegraph range, the design of cir-
cuits for television, and submarine cable telephony. Concerned with the
coaxial cable in 1935, he spent several years working on the require-
ments and measuring techniques applicable to the load rating of multi-

tric Company, 1930-. Mr. Gray, Assistant Superintendent, Develop-
ment Engineering, Point Breeze since 1946, is engaged in the develop-
ment of new equipment and processes. He was Manufacturing Engineer,
Rubber Covered Wire, throughout the period of World War II when the
Western was heavily loaded with the manufacture of communications
items for the Armed Services. He is a member of the A.S.T.M., being
Western's representative from Point Breeze, and is assigned to Com-
mittee D-ll on Rubber and Rubber Products.

L. N. Hampton, Cooper Institute of Technology; Experimental De-
partment, Otis Elevator Company, Engineering Department; Western
Electric Company and Bell Telephone Laboratories, 1917- In the
Western Electric Company's Apparatus Development Department, he
designed Signal Corps apparatus for the detection of airplanes and sub-
marines. Later, in Switching Apparatus Development, he was in charge
of the development of apparatus for use in the telephone plant. After
World War II and work on airborne radar and computing systems for
military projects, he was engaged in the development of train -dispatch-
ing apparatus, cameras for photographing subscribers' message registers
and the cam switching panels of the overseas radio privacy systems. He
also was responsible for the development of the trouble recorder used
in the 4 and 5 crossbar systems and the apparatus aspects of the card
translator. More recently he has been active in the development of com-
ponents for guided missiles. Member of the A.S.M.E. and the General
Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of New York; secretary, Founda-
tion for Homeopathic Research.

H. R. Huntley, B.S. in E.E., University of Wisconsin, 1921. Wiscon-
sin Telephone Co. 1917-1930, except for a leave of absence to complete
education begun earlier at Leland Stanford University and continued
at the University of Wisconsin. Leaving The Wisconsin Telephone Com-
pany where he was Transmission Engineer, Mr. Huntley came to the
Foreign Wire Relations Section of the Operating and Engineering De-
partment of American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1930. In
1942 he transferred to the Transmission Section and has been Transmis-
sion Engineer since 1951.

Luther W. Hussey, A.B., Dartmouth College, 1923; M.A., Har-
vard University, 1924. Union College, Instructor, 1924-30; Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories, 1930-. Mr. Hussey was first engaged in research on
non-linear resistive and reactive devices such as copper-oxide and ger-
manium diodes. He worked on the development of a non-linear coil for
the magnetic pulse generator and the harmonic generator in the mega-
cycle range. He has been concerned with the development of modulating
devices, negative impedance circuits, and switching and computer de-
vices, and is currently associated with an electronic apparatus develop-
ment group working on transistors and transistor circuits. He is a
member of the I.R.E.

ment, 1927-34; Bell Telephone Laboratories, 1934- At A. T. and T. he
was engaged in field testing of new telephone apparatus and funda-
mental studies of noise and cross-induction in telephone circuits. He
continued these and related studies after transferring to the Labora-
tories, his work including fundamental studies of methods of measuring
radio noise. During World War II he was Signal Officer with several
Army and Air Corps organizations, and is now a Lieutenant Colonel in
the Air Force Reserve. Mr. Kaylor returned to the Laboratories in 1945
to do field trials of radio relay systems, and analysis and measurement
studies in the 4,000-mc range. More recently he has been engaged in
